Guy Weadick Days starts June 20 and ends June 23. Our Western High River brokers will be in the stands — don’t forget to visit us on our sponsored evening, June 22. We can’t wait to meet you.

The Strathmore Heritage Days Stampede, held August 2 to 5, brings nearly 20,000 fans to the community every year. Hebson celebrated the Western Strathmore team.

“When you have a company that gets involved, hosts BBQs and shows they care about the sport and the investment, that’s pretty cool,” he said.

Dawson Creek and Rocky Mountain House

One phrase says it all — the Battle of the North. Drivers will descend upon Dawson Creek, British Columbia from August 7 to 11. BC fans, this is your moment to see the chuckwagons.

Last year, kids made signs for the drivers — a true sign of passion for the sport.

Western team members from both our Dawson Creek brokerages will attend the night of August 10. Jennifer Combres, branch manager, said the team is eager to hand out promo items.

“It’s always a good vibe in the stands,” she said. “People are excited to watch the races.”

This year, the stakes are high in Rocky Mountain House from August 15 to 18 — it’s the last qualifiers for the playoffs at Century Downs. You won’t want to miss out as the drivers make that push to the finals.

Century Downs World Finals

New this year, the finals will take place at the Century Downs Racetrack and Casino in Calgary. This event, held from August 21 to 25, is the championship the sport needed, Hebson said.

“Outside the Calgary Stampede $100,000 race, this race will have the most on the line,” he said.

The 4 drivers in the Century Downs "Winners' Zone" Championship Dash will be racing for $50,000, a horse trailer valued at over $30,000 — the winner also gets bragging rights.

A full house is anticipated, and you better believe our teams will be there. A first ever world championship chuckwagon event, Western wouldn’t miss it.
